Interior illumination on stock 2003's

On the new Mazda models the interior lights on the cars is red. I have a 2002.5 Protegé with the green lights. Can I switch out the green for the red? I don't know how to do this, and I'd really like to do it. I was hoping someone on here can help me out. Thanks.

EDIT: Oh yeah, here's a pic:

I think I read about this awhile back. Theres a colored tint in front of the lights or something. Do a search.

I must be in the minority, but I actually like the green.

you are probably right. one of the guys in the club put blue bulbs into his p5 and the dash lights up orange now. would look killer on an orange MSP

I heard that it was more trouble than it´s worth to try and change the lighting color, I have the green too. It´s not that bad.

I believe that the ES model comes with the red/orange and the LX and DX comes with the green...
